Lidia MoralesIngredients
- 5 Bell Peppers
- 1 lbs Ground beef
- 1/2 Onion
- 1 Tomato
- to taste Garlic Salt
- to taste Black Pepper
- to taste Italian Seasoning
- to taste Cheese (any kind) I used cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- to taste Paprika
- 1 cup Cooked rice (any kind)
Instructions
- 1Coat a baking dish with cooking spray or oil; set aside. Preheat oven to 475°F. Cut tops off bell peppers; set tops aside. Using a paring knife, carefully remove the membranes and seeds from bell peppers. Arrange peppers about 2 inches apart in prepared baking dish. Place tops on empty peppers. Cover baking dish tightly with aluminum foil; bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven; cool slightly.
- 2Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add onion and garlic, once cooked add ground beef. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, breaking beef into 1/2 inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes, rice, Italian seasoning, garlic salt and black pepper; cook 3 to 4 minutes until heated through, stirring occasionally.
- 3Remove pepper tops. Divide beef mixture evenly among peppers. Bake in 475°F oven for about 25 minutes until bell peppers are tender. Pull out of oven and add your cheese on top, put back in oven, once cheese is melted or semi golden, it is ready to serve. Enjoy!

Every top-saved low-carb ground beef recipe on Pepper solves the same weeknight problem — you want the comfort of taco Tuesday or a stuffed pepper without the rice or shell.
Home cooks who cook this way regularly lean on the same swaps: cauliflower rice, lettuce cups, bell peppers, and cabbage do the heavy lifting where a starch used to sit.
The beef itself does more work here too — a full pound with plenty of seasoning becomes the anchor of the plate instead of a topping.
Quick Tips
- 1
Read the whole recipe first
Every top-saved recipe here has one step that trips people up. Reading ahead prevents the scramble.
- 2
Season the beef early
Salting the ground beef the moment it hits the pan draws out flavor and helps it brown instead of steam.
- 3
Rest before serving
Meat improves with a 5-10 minute rest after cooking — juices redistribute and the plate holds together better.
- 4
Taste as you go
The best cooks on Pepper don't follow recipes blindly — they taste, adjust, and season one more time before plating.
